Sorry but I disagreed with your logical reasoning. If you compare (Rebel 10,
Rebel tiger 12e or Deep Junior 6.0) to Deep Blue, any top programmer will assure
you that these programs have more Chess Knowledge than Deep Blue, But
when you compare Deep Blue hardware capacity to the most advance PC, even the
latest AMD Athlon 800 Mhz just released, you probably need 50 processors like
the latest AMD Athlon put into parallel just to match Deep Blue caculation
capacity.
